Summer Thoughts
 

While covered in snow here in NJ I began looking through my photos from this past summer to put me in a better state of mind...

Here are a few shots of my T. hermanni hermanni from Majorca, Spain outside on a bright and sunny day. Can't wait to get them back out into their pens!

Lovely looking torts

I know what you mean, Chris, am so sick of winter already, can't wait for the spring to get my torts out where they belong :razz:

Your pictures are stunning, have you bred from her and the male?

Thank you :)

I am surely NOT a winter person!

There is a group of adults I have from this locality as well as other localities. So far, this group has produced one hatchling. The other eggs unfortunately went bad after a few weeks. I believe it was mainly due to them being incubated at too high of a humidity. My Italian and French tortoise eggs seem to handle humidity much better. This time around I'll be incubating the Spanish eggs on a dry substrate.

Lovely pics Chris - I feel a little more summery now! Can't wait to see the end of winter!

They are beautiful :smile: im so want a Hermanni Hermanni, but seems almost impossible to get them :sad:

Those lovely majorcans do have very bright colour contrast! Those little tigers make me dream of summer days too. Great to see them again.

They are absolutely gorgeous!:smile:
